Day 3 Ashes Test Summary

Day 3 began with Beth Mooney, stranded on 98* overnight, reaching her maiden Test century, becoming the fourth woman and first Australian to score centuries across all formats.

Darcie Brown struck early, dismissing Maia Bouchier as England's struggles continued. At tea, England were 30/1 after 14 overs.

Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont steadied the innings briefly, but Ash Gardner broke through, dismissing Knight for 32.

Alana King delivered a double strike, removing Nat Sciver-Brunt (18) and Sophia Dunkley (4), leaving England reeling at 104/4, trailing by 166.

Gardner dismissed Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and King removed a set Beaumont for 47, as England lost 5/30 in quick time.

Australia continued to chip away at the lower order as England tumbled from 100/3 to 148/10, undone by King and Gardner's spin and Brown's raw pace.
